Rex Ryan Releases Surprising Statement About Patriots’ Troubles

Rex Ryan was really loud about the Patriots’ loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

ESPN’s analyst Rex Ryan gave his opinion on the Patriots inability to defeat the Steelers. He said that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski are older and slower than they used to be.

“They’re absolutely in trouble. I’ve been saying it for weeks now, this is not the same Patriots team. The reason why is simple: they’re older,they’re slower, and eventually Father Time catches up to you,” Ryan said.

He also talked about Brady’s performance two months ago. This time he took things in a different direction.

“If you look at Gronkowski, he’s running with a piano on his back.He’s not healthy. Tom (Brady), some of the throws we’ve seen, his feet aren’t even set. That is not the Tom Brady you’re used to seeing. To me, that is the thing. The rush is bothering him. … This team is older and slower and they are desperate for the (playoff) bye, and if they don’t get it, I think they are in trouble.”

Ryan delivered his comments hours after the Patriots lost the game to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team is now 9-5, and there is a great possibility that they play on Wild Card Weekend for the first time in a decade.

The analyst believes that the Patriots lost their invincibility. “As a whole group, this team doesn’t scare anybody.”

We fear that many analysts share his opinion. Things got really heated up after the loss to the Dolphins, and last night’s game was the last shot they received. How will things develop in near future? Well, the Patriots better get ready for the remaining two games. They are important, and the team will also need some luck. Let’s see what happens next week.
